The
Jacksonville Dixie Blues
are a
women's American football
team based in
Jacksonville
,
Florida
. Founded in 2001, they are currently members of the
Women's Football Alliance
(WFA), playing their home games on the campus of
University Christian School
.
History
[
edit
]
The Dixie Blues were a former member of the now disbanded
Women's American Football League
, where they were runners-up in the first championship game in 2001 and won the title in 2002. After the league disbanded, they joined the
Women's Football Association
; they won the league championship in 2003.
[1]
The league folded after that single season and the team spent the next two seasons in the
Independent Women's Football League
. The Dixie Blues then moved to the
Women's Football League
, where they won the 2006 and 2007 titles.
They were planning to join the
National Women's Football Association
in 2009, but have instead become one of the charter franchises in the
Women's Football Alliance
. So far, the Dixie Blues' WFA tenure has been extremely successful, winning three straight division titles. Until 2013, the Dixie Blues were the only WFA charter member never to have lost a regular-season game in league play. As of the end of the 2017 regular season, their current record stands at 136?24. The Dixie Blues begin their 18th season in April 2018.
